Creator's Key Takeaways

We were gone for about 5 weeks. Yeah, our transatlantic cruise was not 5 weeks, but we were It was three though.

I quit my job to go on this trip solely because I didn't want to have to worry about anything for 3 weeks.

The cruise is what you make it. We we have literally no problem sitting around.

Please, I beg of you. I'm warning you now. Do not waste your time going to Parkwell.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Do not waste time at Park Güell if you have limited port time in Barcelona.
Bring your own Coke products on Carnival cruises if you prefer Coke over Pepsi.
